The .gif filename extension refers to the GIF graphical file format created by CompuServe in 1987. The format is from the class of raster graphics which uses a dot matrix type data structure of orthogonally placed pixels, each with their own color information. The file format has a rich history of usage in storing sprite data for video games especially those released in the early 90's. The GIF format has also been used in low-resolution animation clips distributed over the internet, and in design of sharp-edged art that utilize a palette of a few colors up to a max of 256 colors. The GIF file format has its advantage in its compression technique, which limits file size but does not compromise image quality. The file format natively opens on many of the popular web browsers.
.wbmp refers to the wireless application protocol bitmap monochrome graphics file format. The format was initially developed by the WAP forum which later become part of the open mobile alliance. WBMP files are optimized for mobile devices prior to the advent of smartphones and is categorized as a raster image file format. Mobile network services such as SMS and MMS on GSM carriers typically have compatible support for this format, allowing users to send graphics saved in this format.

Upload GIF files from desktop, tablet, or cloud storage, queue multiple jobs, and let the converter finish autonomously. Return whenever convenient to download synchronized WBMP results on any device you rely on.
Process up to 5 files sized 1000 MB per batch without splitting queues manually. Mixed-format uploads convert together, producing consistent WBMP audio with dependable progress tracking.
The GIF format is formally specified in the GIF89a Specification released in 1989 and maintained by the World Wide Web consortium. The format uses the Lempel-Ziv-Welch data compression algorithm to create a single lossless file of multiple images known as frames. The GIF file format has a structure of blocks composed of control, graphics rendering, and special purpose blocks. The blocks begin with the header block, followed by the logical screen descriptor block, the graphic control block with the actual image and or text, and finally the gif trailer marking the end of the file.
The wbmp file format only supports a color palette of black and white which aids in keeping file sizes at the minimum possible. Binary integers are used to differentiate pixels of opposing colors. The file structure consists of several fields including the type field which represent the type of image, a fixed header of 1 byte in size, a width and height field to define the pixel resolution of the file, and finally the data field which holds the image data.
